Volunteer Opportunities

ECC Retirees are valued members of the ECC community! If you want to continue to make a difference helping ECC students and the college, various volunteer opportunities are available year-round.

Spring 2020 volunteer opportunity

Student completion call campaign: help students stay on track to graduate! Every semester, community volunteers gather to call students who have recently "stopped out" meaning they are no longer enrolling in classes before they have finished their degree. Will you help us call and encourage them to re-enroll and cross the finish line? Email foundation@elgin.edu.

Volunteer opportunities are also shared by ECCP-3 and in the ECC Retiree Facebook Group. To sign up or to receive more information about volunteer opportunities at ECC, please contact the ECC Foundation at 847-214-7377 or foundation@elgin.edu.
